I'm fortunate to have access to a very skilled seamstress who makes century old wedding dresses fit new brides, makes costumes for the local ballet company by the dozen, and doesn't shrink for challenges.

I gave her a copy of Barb Tewksbury's seminal book. I don't really know how much she read of it, but she's moved straps to tighten one kilt, which helped, but not enough. I think I'll just keep using suspenders, but I'll try Jock Scot's suggestion about the kilt belt for daywear with a non-dress sporran.
